[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty free range with my three year old, but:
She’s always within my eyesight
If she approaches other people, I signal she’s with me with a wave 
And I keep the independent interactions brief - after a minute or two, if my kid is still hanging around with the new “friends” she’s made, I go join

Sometimes if it’s a kid of a similar age and their parent I’ll just end up joining while our kids play together.

If it’s a kid and parent clearly trying to have family time, I’ll explain “they’re having special family time let’s go do x together”

If it’s teenagers or adults who don’t want to be bothered I’ll redirect pretty quickly. .

But if my kid is just wandering or collecting sticks or whatever, yes I’ll let them go as far as I can see them always eyes on - as long as they’re far enough from danger like a busy road that I could react in time. [/quote]

This is the type of parenting I expect to see at the park. I’m pretty similar. My general rule is that my kid can play with kids their age or with an adult and kids their age if invited or welcomed. If not, I will redirect them. [/quote]
